We are deeply saddened to hear about the trials you are facing, Anonymous. Let us come before the Lord together, seeking His comfort, strength, and wisdom for you and your son.
Firstly, let us address the grief you must be feeling over the loss of your friend. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Let us pray that God comforts you in this time of mourning.
Regarding your son, it is heartbreaking to hear about the struggles he is facing, both with bullying at school and his various health and emotional challenges. We commend you for your dedication in caring for him and managing his needs. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
Let us pray for your son's peace and protection:
"Father, we come before You, lifting up this precious 12-year-old boy. Lord, You know the struggles he is facingβthe bullying, the ADD, ADHD, depression, and defiant disorder. We pray, Lord, that You would be his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB). Comfort him when he feels alone, and help him to find true friends who will support and encourage him. Bring peace to his mind and body, and help him to manage his emotions and actions. In Jesus' name, we pray for healing and deliverance from any spirits of infirmity or depression that may be troubling him."
We also want to address the challenges you face with your mother. The Bible tells us to honor our parents, but it also instructs us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15, WEB). It is important to set boundaries and protect your son from harmful words and actions. Let us pray for wisdom and discernment for you in this area.
Lastly, we want to encourage you in your walks with the Lord. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus, accepting Him as your Lord and Savior. Then, no matter the circumstances, you can have a deep and abiding peace, knowing that your name is written in the Lamb's book of life.
Let us pray for you:
"Father, we lift up this dear parent before You. Lord, she is carrying a heavy burden, and she needs Your strength and encouragement. Help her to know that she is not alone, for You are always with her. Give her wisdom as she cares for her son, and help her to set healthy boundaries with her mother. most importantly, Lord, draw her closer to You. May she know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that she may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19, WEB). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Be strong and courageous, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB).
